Crossing barriers in planetesimal formation: The growth of mm-dust aggregates with large constituent grains
Tim Jankowski, Gerhard Wurm, Thorben Kelling +4
Collisions of mm-size dust aggregates play a crucial role in the early phases of planet formation. We developed a laboratory setup to observe collisions of dust aggregates levitati…
